Paraparaumu Ward 2025 Election Our Community, Our Voice, Let's Make it Heard! Glen Olsen

As a local ratepayer, I understand the importance of responsible spending and sustainable rates. For the past three years as your Chair of the Paraparaumu Community Board, I’ve worked hard to ensure your voice is heard and that Council decisions put people first. I believe we must focus on essentials, deliver real value, and avoid unnecessary spending. 

Born and raised in Paraparaumu, I live here with my wife and our primary school-aged children. I hold a Master’s Degree in Leadership and Sustainability, own a local business, and bring valuable governance experience through my leadership roles. This combination gives me a strong understanding of both community needs and economic responsibility.

I’m committed to transparent decision-making, protecting our environment, and supporting initiatives that genuinely benefit our community.

A vote for me is a vote for strong advocacy, practical solutions, and a collaborative approach to shaping a thriving, connected, and affordable Paraparaumu. 

This is our community, and we have a voice. Together, we can make sure our voice is heard!

I would love the opportunity to represent you as one of your three Paraparaumu Ward Councillors.

Let’s build our future together.

Our Community, Our Voice, Let's make it Heard!
